John the Revelator

If you have the choir and accompanist to handle this, you must give it a serious look because it is just phenomenal! In its original form, the song stems from the Delta Blues tradition, and was recorded by Blind Willie Johnson and Son House during the 1920s and 1930s. "O tell me who is that writin'? John the Revelator...O tell me what is he writin'? 'bout the Revelation...writin' in the book of seven seals..." With vocal glissandi, claps, stomps and stunning dynamics, this is intense, and well worth the work you put into it!
